Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:

The present invention relates to an improved process for the polymerization of compounds contalning at least one olefine insaturation by means of a catalyst system constituted by a transition metal compound and a hydride derivative of alumi-nium selected between a) oligomer N-alkyl-imioalanes constituted by a variety of four and for six atoms ring structures of the type and b) and aluminium hydride oligomer derivatives having the general formula:
(XAlNR)X(XYAl)y(NHR)y This process has a good catalytic activity, a great polymerization reproducibility and gives final polymers having constant and improved properties.
